When Torie & Matt first reached out to me early last year, they described their vision for their wedding: a day centered on their Nuptial Mass followed by a whimsical garden-themed reception. I think after scrolling through this post you will have to agree with me that Torie and Matt accomplished their vision! Both Torie […]

With Christmas and New Year’s celebrations behind us, I am finally getting around to finishing sharing the last of my 2024 weddings! This was a particularly crazy Oct-Dec for me but I’m so grateful for everyone’s patience and I sincerely believe this gorgeous Front Royal, VA wedding was worth the wait! Elizabeth & Dominic have […]

It might be the fact that Medina OH reminded me just a little of Stars Hollow (complete with it’s own town square and white gazebo), or maybe the fact that Mary Rose has a Rory Gilmore-esque fashion sense and dark brown hair, or the fact that their wedding will be in New England, or even […]

Danielle & Noah’s October wedding was a joy to be a part of! We were blessed with the most glorious weather – sunny and warm (which sounds so nice as I currently sit here under my heated blanket on yet another dreary cold day haha). They were married at the very church they met at, […]

At the beginning of October, I drove up to New Hampshire for Carolyn & Frankie’s romantic New England fall wedding. I had photographed Frankie’s sister’s wedding a few years ago and it was so fun to be invited back to document another wedding in their family! New England in the fall is probably one of […]

Alex and Jarod’s late September wedding started as a very rainy day but thankfully we had a covered location for their first look and by the time we came out of the church after their Nuptial Mass, the rain had disappeared! While I’m grateful we had clear skies for the rest of the day, I […]

The first word that comes to my mind when I think of Marybeth & Mitch’s Pittsburgh wedding is joy. You won’t have to scroll down far to understand what I mean as Marybeth’s contagious smile lights up every room she’s in and she was truly glowing on her wedding! Marybeth and Mitch were married at […]

Kayla + Justin’s wedding in September was such a special day for a few reasons! One, I photographed Kayla’s sister’s wedding last September and it’s always such an honor and so fun when I’m invited back to document another wedding in the same family! Another thing that made this wedding unique was that it was […]

I first met Lilly & Justin last year when we did their engagement session in late October. Their engagement session was so much fun and I knew at once that their wedding would also be a blast! Their September wedding in Edgewood, KY fell on a gloriously sunny day. Lilly & Justin chose to do […]

At the beginning of August, I flew across the country for Hannah & Bruce’s Oregon wedding. I had been looking forward to this wedding for months, as it was my first time visiting this gorgeous state. I could tell from our phone calls that these two were just some of the kindest & most genuine […]

On an absolutely beautiful Saturday in July, Mary & Gabriel were married in one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic churches: St. Mary of the Mount. This historic church sits atop Mt. Washington looking out at the Pittsburgh Skyline and I’ve been hoping to photograph a wedding here for quite some time! The sky blue color of […]

Rachel & Brett’s elegant black & white wedding took place in their hometown of Rockford, IL. Rachel’s vision for the day came together beautifully with the girls wearing champagne dresses and carrying simple white bouquets. Rachel held a bouquet of pure white roses and wore a gorgeous fitted off-the-shoulder gown that fit her perfectly. Brett’s […]
